Annual Review 2016/17 | 11
Sigma Pharmaceuticals Limited
Sigma is investing in infrastructure
capabilities to continue to expand our
logistics services to community pharmacy,
hospital pharmacy and third party
logistics customers.
Wholesaling is core to Sigma’s business,
with volumes growing by 4.7% for the
12 months to 31 January 2017.
Sigma has an extensive distribution network
across Australia, with:
• 11 Sigma distribution centres across Australia
servicing community pharmacy; and
• four CHS distribution centres servicing
community pharmacy, hospital pharmacy
and third party logistics customers.
Sigma’s network supports over 4,000
customers across Australia, with our
distribution centres holding over 14,000
SKUs and delivering more than one million
products daily.
CHS provides a differentiated distribution
model to Sigma. A new 8,000 square metre
distribution centre built for CHS in Eastern
Creek in Sydney in 2015 has been a critical
enabler for the expansion of our service
capability. This distribution centre facilitated
the implementation of an important 3PL
agreement with our generics partner, Arrow
Pharmaceuticals. CHS holds over 800 SKUs
and delivered almost 24 million products
during the year.
Sigma has now embarked on a major
investment program that modernises our
network of distribution centres across
Australia to support our efficient and
effective servicing of our customers.
Construction of our new distribution
centre in Berrinba, South East Queensland,
is well advanced. This is a $65 million
investment in a state-of-the-art facility that
will be operational towards the end of the
2018 financial year. The facility will provide
class-leading automation to improve
product throughput, and has been designed
to minimise our environmental footprint.
We have also announced construction
plans for a new facility in Canning Vale
in Western Australia. With our current
distribution centre constrained for capacity,
this is a welcome project that will see a new
15,000 square metre facility developed at
a total cost of $55 million. Construction will
commence in the second quarter of the
2017 calendar year, with the distribution
centre expected to be operational in the
last quarter of the 2018 calendar year.
